What should be done when tmbe lief is found in the heart? It should be confessed, and when this is done, the Lord will take it away. Here is a piece of red paper which suggests the blood of a lamb. I am going to put it over the top of the “I.” (Re move the slip with the letters “U” and “N” under cover of the red slip.) Look at what has happened. We no longer see “unbelief’ and “unfaith ful.” In their stead we read “belief’ and “faithful.” God said of Caleb, “. . . Because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land . . .” (Num. 14:24).

OBJECT: A capital “I” cut from card board. (The “I” should be 10 inches high with crossarms 1 inch deep and upright 1 inch wide. Print the word
“faithful” on one side and the word “belief’ on the other side, starting about 2 1/2 inches from the top of each side. Take a piece of paper 1 x 5 inch es and fold in the middle. Place the fold over the top of the “I,” allowing the ends to come down to the words, “belief” and “faithful” on each side. On each side of this paper, print the letters “U” and “N,” making the words on the “I,” “tmbelief’ and “un faithful.” Cut another piece of paper the same size, fold the same as before and color the outside red. Begin the lesson with the “I” reading “tmbe lief” and “unfaithful.”) LESSON: This large capital “I” is to remind us of God’s people, Israel. It is too bad to start with it marked, “unbelief,” but this is the condition in which God often found them (Num. 14:11). We will turn the “I” around and see if it tells us anything more about Israel. Yes, we find the word “un faithful.” Whenever you find unbe lief in the life of any people, you will find them unfaithful to God. No mat ter which way you turn the “I,” these two facts remain. It is sad when un belief and its twin, unfaithfulness, are found for God said of Israel, “Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that pro voked me see it” (Num. 14:23).

OBJECTS: Two pictures of topcoats cut from a catalog. (One coat should be for a man and the other for a boy.
Mount them on cardboard and put an easel on the back of each to make them stand up. Around the bottom of each coat color a border of blue with a crayon.) LESSON: Here are pictures of topcoats for a man and a boy. They might be for a father and son. The coats are not the same color, but you will notice that there is something alike about them. They both have a blue border around the bottom. It looks a little strange to us, but this is what the children of Israel were instructed to do in the wilderness. When the children of Israel were tempted to do anything wrong, the CONTINUED
